Cloud Development Environment

Services overview

• Main app (apps/web): Next.js 16 app (Turbopack). Runs on port 3000.
• PostgreSQL 16: Primary database. Runs on port 5432 via docker-compose.dev.yml.
• Redis 7 + serverless-redis-http: Caching/rate-limiting. Redis on port 6380, HTTP proxy on port 8079.

Starting services

1. Start Docker daemon: sudo dockerd (already running in snapshot).
2. Start databases: docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d from repo root.
3. Run Prisma migrations: cd apps/web && pnpm prisma:migrate:local (uses dotenv -e .env.local; do NOT use bare prisma migrate dev — it won't load .env.local).
4. Start dev server: pnpm dev from repo root.

Environment file

The app reads apps/web/.env.local. Required non-obvious env vars beyond .env.example defaults:

• DEFAULT_LLM_PROVIDER (e.g. openai) — app crashes at startup without this.
• MICROSOFT_WEBHOOK_CLIENT_STATE — required if MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID is set.
• UPSTASH_REDIS_TOKEN must match the SRH_TOKEN in docker-compose.dev.yml (default: dev_token).

Testing

• pnpm test runs Vitest unit/integration tests (no DB or external services required).
• pnpm lint runs Biome. Pre-existing lint warnings/errors in the repo are expected.
• AI tests (pnpm test-ai) require a real LLM API key and are skipped by default.

Docker in this environment

The cloud VM is a Docker-in-Docker setup. Docker requires fuse-overlayfs storage driver and iptables-legacy. These are configured during initial setup. After snapshot restore, run sudo dockerd &>/dev/null & if Docker daemon is not running, then sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock.
